Thanks!

I love this game! It’s just incredibly satisfying to play.

Oh I love Orleans! Been contemplating getting the big box.
comment in response to post
Absolutely!

Cool! Thanks!

Where can I get those little animals?

Been interested in this one. Looks like a lot of fun.

It’s definitely simpler but its simplicity is what made it great. I also think Wyrmspan > Wingspan.
comment in response to post
Yeah that sound about right. The score was 202 to 131 in the AIs favor. I’ve seen some fanmade solo modifications on BGG that I may try to make it more like a real player.
comment in response to post
Yeah my group enjoys this one quite a bit.
comment in response to post
Underrated game for sure! Love playing this one solo and with two.
comment in response to post
This game is great! Been a while since I’ve played. Might need to get it out again soon.

Finspan is really great. It’s much lighter than its predecessors but still very enjoyable.
comment in response to post
Very good solo. Yeah it does take up a lot of space.
comment in response to post
Absolutely! Not a problem. Hope you get to try some of them.

Oh SETI is amazing! Loved playing it with my group and of course solo as well. Hope you get to play it.

2…Spectacular. Recently I’ve played Reef Project and Guild Academies of Valeria and they were a lot fun. I also look for games with an easy to run AI. If it’s too complex that can be a turn off sometimes.

Awesome! Yeah I play some games solo digitally too on Board Game Arena sometimes. 1. My favorite type of board games are worker placement euro style games. Current favorites are Lost Ruins of Arnak, SETI, MenNefer. Games to start with, I’d recommend Fantastic Favtories, Harmonies…

Hey that’s okay. Most solo games I lose the first time around. I’m usually suspicious of whether I played right or not if I win the first time around šŸ˜‚.

I played at level 2 per the rulebook suggestion. I’ll definitely ramp it up next time. No, they have a slightly flat surface to them that allows them to stay in place. Definitely a nice addition to the game.
comment in response to post
Yeah this one is great. Another game that is similar to Harmonies and even Cascadia is Spectacular. Personally I like it even more than I did Harmonies.
comment in response to post
Awesome! No problem!
comment in response to post
Lol, okay I got ya! Of these mentioned, the simplest to start with would be Harmonies then Spectacular. The others have at least a ten page rulebook. I have other simpler modern board games I can recommend if your interested and I also have pics of Harmonies and Spectacular on my page.
comment in response to post
SETI, Lost Ruins of Arnak, Spectacular, Harmonies, Shelfi Stacker, Reef Project, Pirates of Maracaibo, Champions of Midgard to name a few.

This game is so good!

There is a lot more to it but it’s just too much to explain here. It’s a really good game though.

Worker placement, dice drafting, academy building. You add classrooms to your academy for students (dice) to attend. It’ll give resources. Then when they graduate (value becomes higher than 6) they can be used to complete quests for points.
comment in response to post
Not so great. I want to get through my unplayed games (which I’m doing) but I’ve slowed down a bit in how many games I’m getting to play monthly as well as acquiring new ones which just adds to my unplayed list. It’s a viscous cycle.

Nice Tenzin Cosplay!
comment in response to post
Played this at 4 a few weeks ago. It was initially intimidating but after a few turns, it really flowed and was a lot of fun. It felt more fun than stressful and that makes for a great game.
comment in response to post
Tough game to beat!
